Lots of liquids and get plenty of rest (if that's possible while tending a sick child). It may not help fend it off, but it certainly can't hurt. Is she keeping anything down, and how's her temp doing?

So update, please. How's she doing, and how are you holding up?

No matter what it is, it's not going to happen, and if it did, I would fuck it up. I have a gift for that sort of thing.

Happy Birthday!

My sympathies - I somehow scratched the cornea on my good eye Fri night, and walked around into walls for two days because I couldn't wear my glasses over the eye patch. Doing that for a couple of days was bad enough - I can't imagine doing it for months.

Was the title some kind of Freudian slip?

If you didn't find it already, I think he means the McDonald's thread.

Don't forget to say goodnight to Madison. You do remember who Madison is, right?

Not this road, my child.

Next time, take me with you. I know how to do a crichothyrocotomy, sort of.

There's an urban legend about letters like this. I'll spare everybody the whole story, but the punchline is, the apology letter comes back to the person who complains with a note attached to it that says "Send this son of a bitch the bedbug letter." This reads like a bedbug letter.

Do you not know the difference between a reprimand and a termination, or are you too busy revelling in your imaginary power as a fast food consumer to consult a dictionary?

No. At worst, it's an offense that one would be reprimanded for, and only then if it was part of a pattern of impolite behavior.

Sorry - put this in the wrong place. These threads are starting to run together.

Ice ninja.

But you have no problem with the teenage boy?

You're actually kind of like Rowsdower in The Final Sacrifice (MST3K version), except that at the end, it looks like he might quit drinking. And he winds up with a teenage boy.

People still use those?

No. You shouldn't. Call the doctor. Because you don't respond to reasonable conversation. It seems that the only way to get your attention is to be snarky.

Babies don't go away when you take your meds, either.

And you want another baby.

It depends on what she's on, but some bipolar meds can cause neural tube defects, heart defects and maxillofacial deformities. I don't keep track of what kinds do which - by the time I was diagnosed, I was done having kids, and I hate OB so much that I know as little as is humanly possibly about it. Meh, it's kind of moot, as fuggs knows best anyway. Just ask her.

I don't know... I mean, anything that would stay on through any friction from clothing would be hard on skin, let alone mucous membranes. What's wrong with just keeping a honey bear in the nightstand (or in the glove box)? You kids and your specialized solutions.

You spent money on that? Shit, I got this bridge...
